I've had mine since spring of '07....great setup for the money. I also have new LCA, daizen camber kit front and rear, swaybar bushings; so sometimes it can seem a bit harsh on those 25mph bumpy residential roads. For the longest time I actually was making a major bonehead move and adjusting the ride height of the car in my driveway, which isn't level but appears level to the eye. Upon getting this issue figured out, I've removed all doubts that this is a great setup 
If I had to do it again, since this is a Lexus, I feel it would truly be a better move to have gone with a system you can adjust in the car, I know Tein offers the EDFC....my friend has a 350z with a Tanabe setup that does the same thing.
I could go way way way lower than this, but I like being able to push the car to the limits in the corners without the fronts rubbing (245's)...

megan chit is....well chit. you get a bad ride when you slam the car because you limit the shock travel. this doesnt happen on stances because the lower shock mount is threaded so when you lower the car you dont reduce the shock travel at all. thus retaining a decent ride even when riding LOOOOW. save yourself some hassle and get some Stance coilovers.

ive been running these coilovers for about a year and a half and havnt had a problem since these are soft when adjusted, and stiff when needed also. great coilovers for the dollar you pay.

megan coilovers are also threaded body, so you can adjust the height without compromising shock travel...

my bad on the earlier comment. i was thinking of some of the tein and older JIC coilovers. i havent use megans personally. some of my friends have them on their 240's. some had very good reviews while a couple totally were dissatisfied. i know of only one person that i personally spoke to that has megans on an SC and he didnt like them.
maybe i like stance better because most of my friends run them on everything from an EK hatch to FC's, IS300, S13, and SC's. i have driven most of their cars and i have absolutely nothing negative to say. at least for me customer service and such would be easy too because there is a distributor locally too.
hopefully this week i will be picking up a set of Hypermax II's. planning to go to gingerman on august 12th and get some track time. either way im getting some stance's in october so then i will write a comparison of tokico/eibach vs. hks vs. stance.

Megans = garbage...
well ive had my megans on my sc for 10 months b4 1 of them blew! yes, blew! so i went to megan in west covina so they can give me a replacement as its still covered by the 1 year manufacturer warranty... they saw it was blown and said they would give me two new ones for the fronts... they didnt have any in stock(which was kinda wierd cuz arent they suppose to have a bunch of ish at the warehouse)... so they said they would put in a order from overseas...
3 months later, and still no replacements.. trust... ive been calling(at least once a month) and letting them know i still want my ish... to top it all, i called last week and they said that the shipment from overseas came in, but it didnt have my two replacement coilovers!!!!!
ill keep u guys tuned in when, or if ever, i get my replacement coils..
megans are nice for the price, but u get what u pay for!!!! go with something else bro...
